It is messed up.

I always attempt to rationalize things, but this is beyond logic. It just doesn't make sense.

My mom remembers when Louisiana raised theirs up to 21. She and her friends used to drive to New Orleans for the weekend because it was legal to drink there, but not at home. :p

But if you lower the tax, more people will be able to smoke again because they will be able to afford it, so the consumer base goes up, meaning more sales and more money.
